The days before 24-hour TV, before 24-hour anything just about. I think it was around 1982 or 83 when the first all-night programming cycles began to appear on the television moonscape.

Don’t know about New Orleans but lots of stations did all night movies in the 70s.

Very nice presentation and a great rendition of our national anthem! Also, for the benefit, convenience and information of you and others who view this, the words thereof were written by Francis Scott Key in the aftermath of the British attack on Baltimore's Fort McHenry during the War of 1812 when he saw the American flag still waving over the fort that morning and below are Mr. Key's words if you want to look them over while listening or sing along as you stand with your hand over your heart. The anthem begins at the 1:36 mark. O say, can you see, By the dawn's early light, what so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming, whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight, o'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming? And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air, gave proof through the night that our flag was still there. O say, does that Star-Spangled Banner yet wave o'er the land of the free and the home of the brave? 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Grandson of a New Orleans native here. I wonder if the NAB charged royalties to use the actual SOGP that channel 6 thought was either too expensive or too chintzy for their own liking…🤔 That, or they just wanted something that would contrast well with the character of their viewing area since that homebrewed SOGP contrasts with the old school Popeyes Chicken logo. Whatever the case, the courts eventually ruled the matter moot when the TV Code got struck down as a burden on the Constitution. P.S. Since Jerry Lewis is on this video before the signoff, I’m curious to know who the Love Network affiliate was in New Orleans if you know what I mean.

OMG! Thanx

We desperately need a new Television Code- main rules being no logo bugs and no “paid programming”!

Good Luck with that...😅

Nice animated SOGP right there lol

That is WDSU 6 in New Orleans from 1980 and RIP, Jerry Lewis.

I wonder how this sign off would look like if New France was still here...

It would probably be an RFO sign-off.

That must be one of the driest sign offs I've ever seen.

essvee86 I think it's great, but it's too short!

These days, you have to watch local TV newscasts (in some cities) to win money.

I'd wondered who would be interested in the technical aspects of a TV channel when it signs off? 🤔

The FCC.

Of all the SOGPs I've seen, this has to be one of, if not THE creepiest of them all.

Two slides with a voiceover of the stations technical info and the Star Spangled Banner. Short and sweet. Should it be some production masterpiece that no one but the FCC really cared about?
